According to a leaked photo the other day, it was revealed that Sprint could be close to announcing a new promotion that would mimic T-Mobile’s Uncarrier program where the carrier would pay off your early termination fee (ETF) with another carrier so that you will be able to sign up with them.

Now according to a recent press release by Sprint, it looks like that plan is now official. The details of the plan is pretty much similar to what we have seen in the leaked photo. Basically Sprint will allow you to trade-in your current device and get as much as $300 credit towards it, although we’re guessing this will vary depending on how old and what condition your phone is in.

Sprint will also be providing customers with a $350 Visa prepaid card that will cover your ETF with another carrier, or alternatively you could use it towards installment balance reimbursement. However the plan does require the customer to be in good standing and will have to wait anywhere between 10-12 weeks before they are able to receive the payment via the Visa prepaid card, so that’s something to take note of.

In any case if this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can find out more by heading on over to Sprint’s website, although we should note that this offer is only valid from the 4th of April until the 8th of May, so if you were thinking about switching carriers or getting a new phone, you might want to hurry.

In the past you might have seen some Apple products on sale with the (PRODUCT) RED tag on them. For those unfamiliar, these products when sold have their sales contribute to a charity foundation, so if you’d like to do something for charity and buy yourself a new gadget or accessory from Apple, these are the products to keep an eye out for.

That being said, it seems that Apple’s (PRODUCT) RED has been something of a success as the charity has recently announced that Apple’s contributions thus far have managed to reach the $70 million mark, which we have to say is a lot of money! In fact it was back in September 2013 that Apple hit the $65 million mark, so we guess they have managed to raise another $5 million from then until now.

As it stands the (PRODUCT) RED products that Apple sells includes version of the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod touch, iPad Smart Cover, and several iPhone cases which bears the charity’s branding as well. Sales of the products go straight to the Global Fund to fight AIDS. This is not the only way Apple has participated in the charity.

In the past, the company has changed its white Apple logo to a red logo to in support of World AIDS Day. Apple’s designer, Jony Ive, has also created several Apple products, like the (PRODUCT) RED Mac Pro and Ear Pods which have been auctioned off and have the proceeds donated to charity.

Even if you don’t watch the HBO TV series Game of Thrones, chances are you might have heard its opening song before. It has become rather iconic and has seen many covers made by musicians around the world. Its opening animation sequence is also pretty nifty too and it seems that one fan decided to take it upon himself to recreate it using Skyrim.

The result is a project that its creator, Brady Wold, calls “Thrones” and according to the video’s description, took him thousands of hours to create, which safe to say probably spanned the course of several months, if not a year (since we doubt he worked on it non-stop).

According to Wold, “This started off as an exercise to kill time one afternoon about two years ago, never intending it to be a finished product. I continued to work on it here and there throughout various freelance projects, internships, and other personal projects, until it eventually became a burden; my very own “white whale.””

So if you’re a fan of Skyrim or Game of Thrones, or maybe even both, then we would highly recommend you take a couple of minutes from your day to enjoy the recreation of the Game of Thrones opening sequence in the video above, so enjoy! So, how impressed are you?
